Unused DSS compiledExpressions now defaults to false
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After updating from Pega 8.2 to Pega 8.5, executing a test campaign failed with an error in logs. This occurred when running Distribution tests with "Include funnel analysis reports" checked, and was traced to the DSS setting "decision/strategy/ssaVM/compiledExpressions". As this was previously used to toggle a feature which is no longer in use, the default setting for this DSS has now been changed to false to resolve this issue.

ComponentName fallback added for toggling page context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
Whenever the External Strategy configuration was changed from "Another Page" to "Current Page", pyComponentName property was not being created. This was a missed use case for toggling page context for external substrategies in the user interface of the strategy designer, and has been resolved by setting pyComponentName to its default if reset when switching context.

DSS added to configure usage of Topup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
During NBAD-generated strategy execution, each interaction history summary is queried twice to check data relevancy. This update adds configuration options to disable topup in aggregate datasets. Topup can be disabled with the following configuration items:- Set prconfig "ih/aggregates/last_customer_update_method" to NONE - Set DSS "cep/aggregates_dataset/partition_proc_cache_time" to -1

Modified batch requestor handling to ensure cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
A large buildup of batch requestors was seen, and restarting the node did not clear it. Investigation showed that in the case of one class reading a DSS value, a Pega requestor was being created when it was unable to retrieve any Pega context, and this requestor was not cleaned up afterwards. To resolve this, an update has been made to the way the requestor and Pega context is being created along with ensuring it will be cleaned up properly after use.

ADM Model management page updates
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When accessing the ADM model management landing page in an environment with a large number of nodes, an "UnresponsiveNodeException" error was thrown from the pylaststrategyresults activity by various nodes on different days. Investigation showed the ADM factory table was truncated, leading to inconsistent ADM data in the Last Responses Section. This has been resolved, and the ADM model management page has been made more resilient to node failures.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) topic categorization working consistently for German
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
A few German words were not recognized by the Natural Language Processing (NLP) topic categorization if they were given in capital letters. This was traced to upper case keywords being lowercased during model creation time, but not during prediction time. To resolve this, all words will be lower-cased before the model analyzes the text.

Delayed Learning works correctly with Volume Constraints
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When running an outbound campaign using NBA Designers predictions and delayed learning in conjunction with volume constraints, the adaptive models ended up with incorrect feedback if the prediction had an Alternative label configured with a defined waiting window. This has been resolved with the addition of a new flag 'isVolumeConstraintEnabled' during dataflow creation which will check for volume constraint, and a filter in HandleResponses for that flag.

Decision Management book updated for additional NLP troubleshooting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
Troubleshooting articles have been added to the Decision Management book which address the most common issues encountered when working with the NLP capability of Pega Platform, including topic and entity detection and email parser. These tips can assist with issues such as a node running out of memory due to having a large number of custom Ruta scripts that use REGEX pattern matching.
